kvm: prefault a root table page before switching into a user address space
The root table physical page has to be mapped to not fault in iret or sysret after switching into a user address space. sysret and iret are in the upper half that is global and so page tables of lower levels are already mapped. Fixes #5742 PiperOrigin-RevId: 371458644
